Famous quotes containing the words plato and/or philosophy:
“It seems that I must bid the Muse to pack,
Choose Plato and Plotinus for a friend
Until imagination, ear and eye,
Can be content with argument and deal
In abstract things; or be derided by
A sort of battered kettle at the heel.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“And new Philosophy calls all in doubt,
The element of fire is quite put out;
The Sun is lost, and thearth, and no mans wit
Can well direct him where to look for it.”
—John Donne (c. 15721631)
